This was very good. My 10 year old said he would like to see it added to the regular dinner rotation. That is a high compliment from a child that prefers meat and more meat. He did ask that I leave the zuchinni out but it was wonderful in this. I really liked it with the added pesto at the end. I made it pretty much exactly as stated on the recipe except I did not have tomato paste so I added a about a 1/4 cup of chopped canned tomatoes and then I added the rest along with another can into the soup. So I guess I almost doubled the amount of tomatoes.

Very good! I made it vegetarian by leaving out sausage and using vegetable stock instead of chicken. I also used fresh basil instead of the pesto, just my personal preference. My sons really liked the soup and I served it with garlic cheese biscuits from this site

Tasty! I made this recipe strictly based on the rave reviews and I'm so glad I did. It's delicious. It's an all around great tasting soup. Everyone loved it and there were no leftovers. I highly recommend.

FIVE STARS!! Used prepackaged shredded carrots and omitted the spinach and pesto. Added about 1 cup fresh mushrooms sauteed in butter. Also added 3 slices American cheese to thicken, and aged white cheddar shreds with a handful of feta on top. Kids ate it up, and hubby and son took it for lunch yesterday! I've eaten leftovers for lunch and just now finished the last. Mmmm, this was awesome!

This was absolutely delish. The whole family loved it. Made no changes to original recipe, but made it a second time with regular Italian sausage. Probably a little less healthful for you but just as good.

We loved it! I too used a whole pound of ground turkey Italian sausage. Other than not having the spinach, Followed the recipe to a T. Makes a big batch-I froze half the leftovers after we each had 2 bowls! Thanks Bush!!

LOVE it! I've tried it with Pork sausage and Italian flavored ground turkey. I think the pork sausage was better-more flavor. Don't need to change a thing unless you want it vegetarian style or more meat. With more meat (then the 1/4 cup the recipe calls for) we just put a little extra tomatoe paste with the extra meat. A scrumptuous soup!

Great soup! I used a full pound of sweet turkey sausage and omitted the celery but other than that I followed the recipe and it turned out great. I was even asked for the recipe. Thx!

I love this soup - it's a staple at my house. I double the recipe and use two crock pots, freezing the soup in individual portions. I make a couple of changes though. First, I use ground turkey breast for the meat. Secondly, I use whole wheat pasta. And, lastly, I don't add the pasta to the crock pot until the very last minute so it doesn't overcook. I also increase the veggies some. I've worked it out so that depending on the number of servings, using "my" revised recipe, it comes out to be 4 or 5 points on Weight Watchers (without the pesto or parmesan).

I made this the other night, and it was fabulous. The only change I made was I used sweet Italian sausage and left out the spinach. I also added ditalini pasta instead of the bowties, which is more traditional for minestrone. Awesome recipe, loved it!

Absolutely wonderful. Instead of only 1/4 cup of Turkey sausage I added 1 lb extra lean Hillshire Turkey Kilbasa sliced in chunks. No Pesto for me either and it was one of the best soups we've had in ages.

This was pretty good, but it seemed like a lot of effort and a long list of ingredients for just being pretty good. I probably won't make this again.

This soup was fantastic. I followed the recipe, except that I added two sausages. I used Applegate Farms mild Italian chicken-turkey sausage. It has a delicious flavor that really made the soup even better - especially the fennel. Definitely brown it first. I used all organic veggies and beans (sorry Bush!). I also used multicolored bowties that my daughter loved. I actually had pesto at home and tried it on the soup, but it really just doesn't need it. The soup is delicious as is and the pesto flavor just masks the soup flavor. Unless you LOVE pesto, I'd skip it.
